Am7 / D / Am7 / D / Am7 / D Am7 / D /

(D) Am7 D

When the deep blue night is running

Am7 D

close on the track,

(D) Am7 D

And you can feel the green monkey crawling

(D) Am7 D

a - cross your back.

(D) Am7 D Am7 D

Don't take me so real you for-get how to feel,

(D) Am7 D

Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your

Am7 D

Heart into steel.

* coda

Em9 A7

Smell the perfume of a silent dream

Em9 A7

Fly the ocean, read a story to me.

Em9 A7

Speak the wisdom of the redwood tree,

Em9 (tacet)

Speak to me. (return to Intro 1 and 2 -- solo over verse chords

then return to * coda, sing w/rhythm guitar only).

After * coda is played second time, return to both intro 1 & 2

and fade out over dueling guitar solos (check out the recorded

album version -- Joe Walsh is the guest lead guitar player).

This song is not a 'typical' America song and is great for jamming...
